The hardest piece of hardware to buy in 2025 is a high-quality 4K television that is just a "monitor".
What if I don't want the OS? or the microphone in the remote? Or the ads? How about a dumb panel with 4 HDMI ports that turns on instantly and displays pixels without negotiating with a cloud server?
A friend is looking for one and to help her I've resorted to looking at commercial/signage displays just to escape the smart ecosystem.
Has anyone found a reliable source for "dumb" panels, or are we stuck disconnecting the WiFi and hoping the firmware doesn't complain?
